Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: (WA93-95 points) The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs has a very complex and introverted, but captivating bouquet that draws you in, full of blackberry, briary, cold limestone and just a hint of baking powder in the...

Burghound, 93 points: A cool and ultra-pure nose features notes of both red and dark cherry, earth, spice and plenty of earth character that is also reflected by the sleek and relatively refined middle weight flavors that evidence a firm...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Lean and taut, with cherry and spice flavors riding a beam of acidity. The tannins are gentle yet supportive. Finishes with a chalky feel. Shows fine purity and intensity, yet will require some time to reveal all its...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: (ST89-92 points) Bright medium red with ruby highlights. Liqueur-like aromas of cherry, boysenberry, meaty plum, spices and smoky oak. A bit more red and less primary than the darker Clos de la Bousse d'Or. Suaver in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu from Comtes Lafon is blessed with a sensual bouquet with plenty of dark cherry and blueberry fruit, maybe a slight malic scent...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 90 points: (ST88-90 points) (Dugat made 7 barrels in 2014, vs. a normal 10 to 12, owing to hail losses): Medium red. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, tobacco and red licorice. Sweet and ripe in the middle, with red berry and brown...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: (93-95 points) Deep ruby-red. Very dark aromas and flavors of medicinal black cherry, crushed rock and licorice pastille. Wonderfully rich and deep, combining a fine-grained texture with superb inner-palate energy. For...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The 2014 Pommard 1er Cru les Grands Epenots has a rather extravagant bouquet, especially for a Pommard, with showy red cherries, raspberry coulis and orange sorbet scents that are nicely defined. This is...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots has a fragrant nose of blackcurrant pastilles and crushed violet -- all very tightly wound at the moment. The palate is compact on the entry but well defined with...

Burghound, 91 points: (BH89-91 points) An emphatically earthy, fresh and ripe nose speaks of cassis and subtle floral nuances. There is both good volume and punch to the delicious and solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a...
